FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has agreed to extradition from the Bahamas to the United States, where he will face charges for wire fraud stemming from the collapse of his cryptocurrency exchange platform.

Key Quotes: "Whatever trail that got him here this morning, it did not involve me," said Bankman-Fried's Bahamian lawyer Jerone Roberts. "We understood that Mr. Bankman-Fried intended to waive his extradition," said Franklyn Williams of the Bahamas Department of Public Prosecutions.

For Context: The exact timeline for the transfer is unclear, but the necessary documents are being drafted despite Bankman-Fried's Bahamian attorney claiming he had not been part of the extradition agreement. Bankman-Fried was arrested in the Bahamas on Dec. 13 after an arrest request was made by the U.S. government. FTX allegedly defrauded customers by using their assets in risky investments in Alameda Research, a company also run by Bankman-Fried. The charges include wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, violation of campaign finance laws, and commodities and security fraud.

How the Media Covered it: The extradition agreement was covered by sources across the political spectrum. Many media outlets noted that Bankman-Fried says he had no knowledge of customer money being used to fund investments at Alameda, while he has admitted to making managerial mistakes.

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried inched closer to being transferred into U.S. custody to face criminal charges related to the cryptocurrency exchange’s collapse, after a chaotic court hearing here Monday in which his local lawyer appeared at odds with his U.S. legal team.

Mr. Bankman-Fried has agreed to be extradited, according to a person familiar with the matter, and plans were being fleshed out by his legal team after the day’s court proceedings. Mr. Bankman-Fried’s lawyers hope to have a new hearing on the matter as early as Tuesday, the person said.

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried agreed to be extradited to the United States, where federal prosecutors have indicted him on eight counts of fraud and conspiracy.

Jerone Roberts, the attorney representing Bankman-Fried in the Bahamas, confirmed Monday afternoon that his client “has agreed to be voluntarily extradited to the United States of America.”

In an interview with a local journalist obtained by CNN, Roberts said Bankman-Fried’s next court appearance will be to complete the extradition process.

Disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has reportedly agreed to get extradited to the United States to face charges levied against him for wire fraud stemming from his bankrupt cryptocurrency firm.

Bankman-Fried, also known as SBF, was poised to drop his initial resistance against extradition from his Bahamas prison during a frenzied hearing Monday. However, an exact timeline for his possible transfer to the U.S. remains unclear, the Washington Post reported.
